Solution

First, we need to find out the total number of valid votes. Since 20% of the votes were invalid, that means 80% of the votes were valid.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of valid votes 80/100 * 7500 = 6000 votes

One candidate got 55% of the total valid votes. So, the other candidate must have gotten the remaining 45% of the valid votes.

Step 2: Calculate the number of valid votes the other candidate got 45/100 * 6000 = 2700 votes

So, the other candidate got 2700 valid votes.
